N2  - Abstract:  Thirty two Far Eastern University-Dr. Nicanor Reyes Medical Foundation Hospital ward Attendants underwent a one time screening for a prevalence study of apparent and in apparent Pulmonary Tuberculosis. A complete medical assessment which included history, physical examination and sputum microscopy examination using direct flourochrome acid fast stain was done.  The majority of the sample population were within the age range of 36-50 years of age.  And 94% had previous exposure to the disease either at the hospital or within their community.  Based on the study, our ward attendants have a good compliance regarding nursing practices like 40.62% wear mask alone, 18.75% wear mask and gloves while other 9.37% wears gloves only.  40.62%  tends to their patients at a distance  of  less  than  1  foot  which  leads  to  a  greater  chance  of  acquiring the disease.  53.33% of the sample population have experienced coughing for more than two weeks of still undetermined etiology while 20% were probable cases of active Pulmonary Tuberculosis.  The result of the AFB sputum microscopy revealed that there were no definite cases of Pulmonary tuberculosis.  The study concluded that there is a low prevalence of Apparent and in apparent Pulmonary Tuberculosis. Tuberculosis.   However,  some  of  the  study  population manifested  symptoms  like  coughing   for  more  than  two  weeks  and  fever  for  more  than one month which is a probable case of pulmonary tuberculosis.
